Acting U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf on May 19 Alex Wong/Getty ImagesActing Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf Sunday defended federal law enforcement actions last week used to clear demonstrators who had gathered near the White House in peaceful protests. “I think we took the right action,” Wolf told Fox News, adding the number of violent protests and rioting diminished during the week. He said federal officials deserve credit because of the early action taken by the administration. He said although there may not have been a large number of arrests by federal agencies yet the Department of Justice and the FBI and others are investigating. It’s very legitimate and we need to address that.”
